The Karoo - South Africa's vast central plateau, is a land of wide open skies and, for many South Africans, the true heart of the country. As an enviro-tourism destination, the Karoo is unsurpassed, with scenery that changes from dramatic, rugged mountains to arid, open plains. Malaria free game viewing, mountaineering, hunting, farm visits, bird-watching, water sports - they're all here, alongside imposing historical buildings, mysterious rock art and ancient fossils.
Discover the endless silence of this semi-desert, gaze into the night sky were the stars all seem so close that the Karoo is considered the world's best stargazing destination.
